JBC Talk Ep 2 Part 2: Rabbis 101- An Interview With Rabbi Adam Kligfeld

Note: This is the second truncated (yet still long!) part of the original Episode 2 recording. Why is that?, you might be wondering. Despite our going into this episode with the intention of keeping things short, it ended up running nearly two hours.  So we have decided to split Episode 2 into two, separate podcasts which will air (well you know, go live!) a week apart. As a result, there are a few breaks in continuity.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Podcast … [Read more…]

January 19, 2011 By Avi M 12 Comments

We were actually hoping to get our first episode out before the end of December.  Unfortunately, we weren’t able to pull it off. I had a fairly last-minute move, then I caught a nasty bug and was out of commission for several days. Then, it was the December holidays and, on top of that, Yair got hit with an illness of his own. Anyhow, better late than never, I guess. In this episode: We discuss Avi’s recent move to the Jewish neighbourhood in Pico Robertson and what effect it’s had on … [Read more…]

I’m happy to announce that things are moving along quite nicely with the podcast. We’ve already recorded our first interview, which was with Rabbi Bradley Artson of American Jewish University and despite my inexperienced bumbling about, the Rabbi gives an incredibly interesting interview. I’ve had several people give it a listen and provide feedback and the overall response has been extremely positive, so I’m confident people will really enjoy it. Also my co-host Yair and I have recorded a … [Read more…]
